Today the ACM gave me the No7 Line Lift, so I tried the magic voucher combo with mixed results.:)
At the till the SA scanned the Line Lift, Powder, Peel and some drinks I gave the SA the Line Lift voucher and the till beeped,
so she took me over to the No7 SA, who was busy doing a makeover (yay! ).
She said that the voucher was beeping but should work so it would be ok for the other SA to over ride it.
She said she would put the Line Lift through as 'Beauty' but that mean't the 3 4 2 offer on No7 did not kick in.
I did mention that it should work but the SA said that if I picked up another No7 item, the 3 4 2 would be ok and I would still get the Lift free.
I couldn't really do anything other than choose an extra item though, as I knew I still had the other vouchers to use up. Any way, this is what I bought:

No7 Line Lift was £12xx but free with voucher (not part of 3 4 2)
No7 Peel was £17xx reduced to £8.80 - 1/2 price with voucher
No7 Cocooning Body Balm 12.20
No7 Highlights Powder £10.00 but free on 3 4 2 offer
Drinks x 4

Used free Line Lift, free powder and 1/2 price Peel vouchers (in this order)
Total was £55.60 before vouchers
Total to pay was £12.60

Whilst I was hoping it would go through without having to add the extra item, I still feel that it worked out ok.
The SA was amazed at my bargains.:cool: She would have been more amazed if it had gone as I hoped though.
It does show that not all the tills are programmed in the same way, as many do not beep with the Line Lift voucher at all.

Hi all. Happy Birthday to everyone who is celebrating. Mine is in June and I am not looking forward to it at all. Think wrinkles and such like will be appearing soon. Eeeek! ***

Have a feeling my paragraphs won't work, so I am putting **** where the new paragraph should start. ****

Off to Boots tomorrow, anything I should be looking out for? ****

Shame we can't come to your charity event *HJA*, I would definitely have come to Birmingham to support you and buy lots of the stuff you are selling. I am sure lots of others on here would love to have come too, but like you said it's a pupils only event. Hope you make lots of money for MacMillans. Go you go. ****

Finally, a bit of a thick question, but I'm a bloke and don't really understand. When you ladies buy all these No7/Soap and Glory/etc/etc items, do you use them all? There are only so many presents you can give, and some things take ages to use, what do you do with all the rest? Just admire it? *confused*

Mimi. I think you are safe from worrying about wrinkles for many years to come.
As for what I do with all the stuff I buy, well lots of it will be used for gifts etc, lots is used by OH, DS etc.
Some I hand out as random acts of kindness to people I know.. HE, Shaving Foam, Pantene etc and they are always pleased to recieve them
and say stuff like "OOh I don't normally buy this because it costs £xxx.".....Whilst I am thinking,
"No neither do I...unless its on offer, has lots of points (so I can buy phone top ups) or is on some mega fab glitch.
As for the S&G, its mine and I am not giving it away..(lol!)
Nor will any Miss Dior ever leave my stash to be given as a gift.:o :D
I am thinking of doing some sort of charity or fundraising hamper at some point though,
as I have lots of goodies to use up and it would help some good cause. Hope your dad is improving Mimi.

Skibster - I got the half-price discount on some Wup liquid about 2 weeks ago.

Didn't know it was ending in October though - will have to stock up.

Thanks. The possible changeover was 1 April though, so I'm curious if anyone has actually gotten it since then. I'll read on and maybe someone has already reported, lol.

I still feel I am new to bootsing so am just hoarding, although did manage to give a few bits as pressies. I'm trying to finish what I have before I open something else but am loathe to :eek:
Must try and use though as wardrobe doors keep flying open!!!!! :rotfl:
